Account Director / Senior Manager, Creative Operations
Top Benefits
About the role
American Tall is a thriving e-commerce brand, dedicated to producing world-class quality clothing for tall men, and women, up to 7’1. Founded by a father and son duo in 2015, the business has grown to a level that seemed almost unimaginable just a few years ago and is now a leading brand in the tall community. The growth can be attributed to the excellent leadership team and family values that drive the business – respect, passion, support, and empowerment.
We believe the best ideas come from a diverse group of people. This is a special opportunity to join an innovative business with tremendous upside, and a work culture built on the foundation of respect, inclusiveness, and continued learning.
The Role We are seeking a strategic, process-driven creative operations leader to help build the systems, structure, and clarity needed to scale our internal creative function. This role blends planning with hands-on execution to unlock the full potential of our creative team and ensure seamless cross-functional alignment. This hybrid role blends the strategic instincts of an Account Director with the operational precision of a Creative Operations lead. You will work across marketing, creative, e-commerce and production to ensure campaigns and projects move from brief to delivery smoothly, on time, and with clarity.
The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of creative workflows and production timelines, with the ability to protect space for creativity while bridging business needs and brand execution. You will act as the translator and operator between requests and creative output—owning intake, timelines, bandwidth planning, and feedback loops—so all teams can focus on what they do best while we scale our content production.

- Take ownership of day-to-day operational workflows, timelines, and team capacity planning.
- Strategic Collaboration:
